Nono talks about the story of the Seven Bridges in the town, where it is said that if you walk the bridges in silence with the person you have crush on, you two will be bound by mutual love. Nono dreams about watching the fireworks with someone she likes, but Magari hints at having someone in mind, Ganta, causing her to blush. 

Ganta asks Ukegawa to ask the student council if he can bring his camera on the upcoming trip. Ukegawa asks Ganta if he likes Magari, but he gets flustered and refuses. Ukegawa and Ganta run into Magari and her friends on the street, but Ganta shies away. Ganta takes Ukegawa to meet Yui, who helps Ganta use the camera correctly for each kind of night sky.

Magari arrives and surprises Ganta, and Ukegawa leaves to avoid third wheeling. While waiting for Yui at her apartment, Magari and Ganta work on camera notes and a poster for the school event. Ganta asks Magari to go with him to the fireworks festival, and Magari shyly accepts. 

The homeroom teacher assigns groups for the upcoming camp trip in alphabetical order, and Ganta is stuck with boys he doesn’t like, including Rui Haida. Ganta heads out again at night to take pictures. Ukegawa informs and apologizes for the student council not allowing him to bring the camera.

Haida spots Ganta going home. Haida asks Ganta what he was doing in the school washroom at night, knowing he could get into trouble, but Ganta has no answer. Haiku sensei overhears their conversation and lets them off with a warning. Sensei undermines those unable to sleep at night and claims something is wrong with them.

Ganta, offended, screams at Hakui sensei and calls him an idiot. Ganta is discouraged because taking pictures of the sky would be impossible because of the bad weather forecast at the camp. Magari sets up charms and promises Ganta to meet him under the starry sky if the storm clears. Magari falls asleep with her head on Ganta’s back to the sound of his heartbeat.
